New C-Section Guildelines

I was happy to read this article on C-Section guidelines, referenced on my friend Jenny's blog. I'm grateful that the pendulum is starting to swing the other way. It's scary how much interest groups and national academies, which are set up to actually represent and help differing groups, can actually set up guidelines to hurt them. Be careful with the power you've been given!
I'm grateful the ACOG has more seriously considered the tragic C-Section rate in our country. I'm grateful we have C-Sections (for which my breech, leg behind his head, low heart rate, and one month early water breaking husband would not have been born without). Still think that 1/3 of the United States' women have them is alarming! I'm hoping this policy especially helps so many women who'd like to have a VBAC! What are your thoughts?Link
